Ok - How do I "white out" my license plate in my photos of my Vette?
I can't seem to figure it out. Please respond before they more my thread. I posted in Off Topic but no one replied in three hours.
Thanks-

Using standard software on any Windows PC, launch the MSPaint application and load your file. Then from the toolbox on the left side of the window, you can pick either the paintbrush or spraypaint icon, then select the color you want at the bottom (white), then move your mouse over to the license plate and left-click your mouse to apply the white. Then save your file (under a different filename) and bingo you're done.

I've never understood the covering of license plates- unless you're "WANTED" or something.

Your plate is out in public every time you drive.........

Daym...

I'm not the sharpest knife in the draw, & Didn't want my plate in the photo so I took a piece of plywood 4x8' put in-front of the plate, & now you cant even see the car.. only the piece of plywood

I'm gonna get real Hi-Tec.. and cut the plywood to 6" x12" and just hide the plate

make sure to edit out the background as well as the license plate. Dont want anyone to have a clue about your surroundings because they can just enter it into a program on google and figure out your license plate, and from your license plate they can get your credit card numbers.......and like stated above make sure to put tin foil on your head while posting the pictures. Just makin sure you cover your tracks

Don't get it...Do you wear a bag over your head when in public also? What are you afraid of...your license plate is exposed every time you drive right?

In these days and times I can't believe you said that. There is nothing wrong with someone wanting to show their car to fellow vette owners without advertising their name, address and where they live for the world to see. Internet tells all from a license plate number. I am not afraid to defend myself with gun, knife or fist, but why invite the need to? There are a lot of crazies out there.
